I have found you can freeze just about anything.
Lazy by nature, I am not much of a "canner". I will do some pickling, but that's mainly jalapenos and pickle slices.

I've been told I need to blanch my green beans before freezing [again, lazy I am, lol] but I just clean them and pop them into the freezer. They seem to turn out quite nicely.

I make up bags of salsa for winter time: Roma tomatoes, garlic cloves, jalapenos, a little onion, maybe some bell pepper. Throw them together in a freezer bag. When I want salsa, I just empty the bag into a baking dish and roast in the oven until veggies are tender. Let it cool, blend in the blender and presto...garden fresh salsa. Yummm!

Have you ever thought about zucchini squash? Very easy to work with and very versatile. It's also very affordable as it seems to be abundant this time of year.
I freeze everything that comes out of my garden. I spent an afternoon just chopping bell pepper and onions. They are wonderful for just grabbing a handful out of the freezer and drop in potatoes, eggs, or whatever.
